Bishops Call for Help for Cyclone Dineo Victims

The bishops have sent a letter to those affected by Cyclone Dineo in the two dioceses of Mozambique and the Diocese of St Mark the Evangelist extending their prayers and concern for the loss of life and devastation caused by the storm.

In a letter written from the Synod of Bishops, they added: “The loss of human lives, livestock and crops is a tragedy to God’s creation. We pray for God’s protection for all vulnerable communities as they seek to recover their losses and rebuild their infrastructure.”

In a resolution the Synod also decided to ask HOPE Africa, in discussion with the affected dioceses, to draft a relief intervention to assist communities and to call on all parishes and dioceses to contribute financial assistance to resource the relief plan.
